One Member Of Bush Family Throws His Support To Donald Trump

One member of “Team Bush” has lined up behind Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Trump lampooned former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as “low energy” throughout the Republican president primary season. He also criticized policy decisions of former President George W. Bush regarding the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Iraq War.

As a result, the Bush family has steadfastly refrained from endorsing Trump in his presidential campaign.

“It’s a very surprising decision, particularly in light of the father, the uncle and the grandfather making it abundantly clear they are not going to endorse Donald Trump for November,” said Tom Pauken, a Trump backer. “If you don’t have your own family on board, how do you encourage others?”

Initially, George P. Bush said he had no plans to get involved in the presidential contest.

“My job is pretty simple as it relates to our game plan as of right now,” he said. “The focus is on one congressional race and eight state House races. In large part we are isolated from the national political landscape, and that’s honestly where I prefer to be.”
